The polarization quaternion and its applications: a joint representation of the Q/U Stokes parameters and E/B mode polarizations

Hao Liu, James Creswell, Chao-Wei Tsai +1

In this work, we point out that the Q/U Stokes parameters and E/B mode polarizations are the four components of a unique quaternion, which describes at the same time the directions…
